I want to create two views.
- One view showing all accounts having contacts. It is easy. I don't have any issue with this.
- Second View Showing All Accounts don't have any contact.
As we can't specify such condition for second view in advance find. Is there any way we can achieve this using Views?
I don't want to create SSRS report or any custom Development.
Please let me know if this is achievable.
You can achieve this only by modifying the Account entity customization xml.
Create a new (system) view for Account and name it "Active Accounts without Contacts".
Create a (unmanaged) solution for export and add the Account entity without any dependencies.
Export the solution and unpack the zip archive.
Open the customization.xml with the editor of your choice.
Modify the views FetchXml as follows:
before
...
<fetchxml>
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical">
<entity name="account">
<attribute name="accountid" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
</entity>
</fetch>
</fetchxml>
<IntroducedVersion>1.0.0.0</IntroducedVersion>
<LocalizedNames>
<LocalizedName description="Active Accounts without Contacts" languagecode="1033" />
</LocalizedNames>
<Descriptions>
<Description description="Active Accounts without Contacts" languagecode="1033" />
</Descriptions>
...
after
<fetchxml>
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true">
<entity name="account">
<attribute name="accountid" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
<link-entity name="contact" from="parentcustomerid" to="accountid" link-type="outer"/>
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="parentcustomerid" operator="null" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
</fetchxml>
<IntroducedVersion>1.0.0.0</IntroducedVersion>
<LocalizedNames>
<LocalizedName description="Active Accounts without Contacts" languagecode="1033" />
</LocalizedNames>
<Descriptions>
<Description description="Active Accounts without Contacts" languagecode="1033" />
</Descriptions>
...
Finally, re-package the solution, import and publish.
I could not get this to work, and after quite a bit of "tinkering" altered the fetchxml as follows and it works! I basically moved the filter to before the link-entity detail. This is on CRM2013 with Rollup 1.
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true" >
<entity name="account" >
<attribute name="address1_city" />
<filter type="and" >
<condition entityname="contact" attribute="parentcustomerid" operator="null" />
</filter>
<link-entity name="contact" from="parentcustomerid" to="accountid" link-type="outer" />
<attribute name="primarycontactid" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
<attribute name="telephone1" />
<attribute name="accountid" />
</entity>
</fetch>

I am trying to exclude App Users from a view in Dynamics 365 CRM. The fetch xml is very simple:
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="systemuser">
<attribute name="fullname" />
<attribute name="businessunitid" />
<attribute name="title" />
<attribute name="address1_telephone1" />
<attribute name="positionid" />
<attribute name="systemuserid" />
<order attribute="fullname" descending="false" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="type" operator="ne" value="App User" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
I need to place a filter in my query like this seudo code: <condition attribute="type" operator="ne" value="App User" />, sort of a field that allows me to filter by user type. Is there any field that could deterministically say that a user is an app user?
Typically, Non-interactive App user will be created with the attribute Access mode = 4 in system user entity. So this should work.
<condition attribute="accessmode" operator="ne" value="4" />
Scenario: I've a text field in Dynamics CRM on Order Type. This field is integrated with some other systems and it'll be accepting only already stated list of values; like, ABC, IJK, XYZ etc. Now I can query this field using Advanced find if it contain data or not.
Now in report, I've a parameter that is having all those possible value and one additional as "Does not contain data" and its value is empty string. I've also enabled this report parameter for multi-select. But I am unable to get the orders if any of the value is selected from report parameters.
Below is my FetchXML query, Please let me know what I am missing in below.
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="invoicedetail">
<attribute name="productid" />
<attribute name="invoicedetailid" />
<attribute name="tv_ordertype" />
<order attribute="productid" descending="false" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="tv_ordertype" operator="in" value="#Order_Types" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
Unfortunately you cannot combine the values ("ABC", "IJK", "XYZ") with an empty string option. Think about how SSRS will parse the empty string into FetchXml:
<condition attribute="tv_ordertype" operator="in" value="" />
Because the in operator has an empty string, there will be no matching results.
One approach that might work is to change your FetchXml to use an or filter, like this
<filter type="or">
<condition attribute="tv_ordertype" operator="null" />
<condition attribute="tv_ordertype" operator="in" value="#Order_Types" />
</filter>
This will now return all values from CRM that match your criteria OR have a null tv_ordertype
Then you can apply additional filtering at the tablix / report level
Try something like below
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="invoicedetail">
<attribute name="productid" />
<attribute name="invoicedetailid" />
<attribute name="tv_ordertype" />
<order attribute="productid" descending="false" />
<filter type='and'>
<condition attribute="tv_ordertype" operator="in" value="#Order_Types" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
Your fetch XML should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="invoicedetail">
<attribute name="productid" />
<attribute name="invoicedetailid" />
<attribute name="tv_ordertype" />
<order attribute="productid" descending="false" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="tv_ordertype" operator="in"/>
<value>#Order_Types[0]</value>
<value>#Order_Types[1]</value>
<!-- etc -->
</condition>
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
I need to get all accounts that have phonecalls in state not open, so I created a query on fetch and got some results.
After checking my results I found that I got all accounts that have minimum 1 phonecall that was not open, but I need to get the accounts that all of their connected phonecalls are not open (can't have even 1 in open state) is it possible to do by fetch ?
** by NOT OPEN I mean state of Canceled or Completed.
Here is my fetch query:
#"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='true'>
<entity name='account'>
<attribute name='name' />
<order attribute='accountamount' descending='true' />
<link-entity name='phonecall' from='regardingobjectid' to='accountid' alias='ab'>
<filter type='and'>
<condition attribute='statecode' operator='ne' value='0' />
</filter>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>";
What you are looking for is Unmatch query. This can be achieved in 2 queries using fetchxml.
First Query: You have to pull all the Accounts with open phonecalls.
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true" >
<entity name="account" >
<attribute name="accountid" />
<order attribute="accountamount" descending="true" />
<link-entity name="phonecall" from="regardingobjectid" to="accountid" alias="ab" >
<filter type="and" >
<condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="0" />
</filter>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
Second Query: Iterate & pass the first query Account resultset as <value> like below, to filter out them.
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true" >
<entity name="account" >
<attribute name="name" />
<attribute name="primarycontactid" />
<attribute name="telephone1" />
<attribute name="accountid" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
<filter type="and" >
<condition attribute="accountid" operator="not-in" >
<value><GUID of ACCOUNT1 with OPEN PHONECALL></value>
<value><GUID of ACCOUNT2 with OPEN PHONECALL></value>
<value><GUID of ACCOUNT3 with OPEN PHONECALL></value>
</condition>
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>

In Dynamics CRM, I'm trying to get all the appointments where a specific user is an attendee, using Web API. I know that I have to deal with Appointment entity and ActivityParty with activitypartytypemask equals 9 but really cannot figure out how to make it. How can identify the attendee ?
You can use FetchXml for your purpose. Check following Fetch:
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true">
<entity name="appointment">
<attribute name="subject" />
<attribute name="statecode" />
<attribute name="scheduledstart" />
<attribute name="scheduledend" />
<attribute name="regardingobjectid" />
<attribute name="activityid" />
<link-entity name="activityparty" from="activityid" to="activityid" alias="aa">
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="participationtypemask" operator="in">
<value>6</value>
<value>5</value>
</condition>
<condition attribute="partyid" operator="eq" value="{9CE2BF21-408B-E611-80F3-C4346BAC7ABC}" />
</filter>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
Using provided FetchXml and WebApi you should get the result you wanted. Url should look like following:
[Server Base Url]/api/data/v8.2/appointments?fetchXml=%3Cfetch%20version%3D%221.0%22%20output-format%3D%22xml-platform%22%20mapping%3D%22logical%22%20distinct%3D%22true%22%3E%3Centity%20name%3D%22appointment%22%3E%3Cattribute%20name%3D%22subject%22%20%2F%3E%3Cattribute%20name%3D%22statecode%22%20%2F%3E%3Cattribute%20name%3D%22scheduledstart%22%20%2F%3E%3Cattribute%20name%3D%22scheduledend%22%20%2F%3E%3Cattribute%20name%3D%22regardingobjectid%22%20%2F%3E%3Cattribute%20name%3D%22activityid%22%20%2F%3E%3Clink-entity%20name%3D%22activityparty%22%20from%3D%22activityid%22%20to%3D%22activityid%22%20alias%3D%22aa%22%3E%3Cfilter%20type%3D%22and%22%3E%3Ccondition%20attribute%3D%22participationtypemask%22%20operator%3D%22in%22%3E%3Cvalue%3E6%3C%2Fvalue%3E%3Cvalue%3E5%3C%2Fvalue%3E%3C%2Fcondition%3E%3Ccondition%20attribute%3D%22partyid%22%20operator%3D%22eq%22%20value%3D%22%7B9CE2BF21-408B-E611-80F3-C4346BAC7ABC%7D%22%20%2F%3E%3C%2Ffilter%3E%3C%2Flink-entity%3E%3C%2Fentity%3E%3C%2Ffetch%3E
This article contains additional details.
Is it possible to write a single FetchXML query that gets a root entity and multiple children? All I've been able to do is 1:1.
James Wood is correct. Fetch XML is recursive so by using the link entity you can get the information you want.
For example, the following is valid:
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="true">
<entity name="account">
<attribute name="name" />
<attribute name="primarycontactid" />
<attribute name="telephone1" />
<attribute name="accountid" />
<order attribute="name" descending="false" />
<link-entity name="contact" from="parentcustomerid" to="accountid" alias="aj">
<attribute name="firstname" />
<attribute name="lastname" />
<attribute name="telephone1" />
<link-entity name="businessunit" from="businessunitid" to="owningbusinessunit" alias="ak">
<attribute name="name" />
<attribute name="address1_line1" />
<attribute name="address1_line2" />
<attribute name="address1_line3" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="name" operator="not-null" />
</filter>
</link-entity>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
If your question really is "Is it possible to write a single FetchXML query that gets a SINGLE root entity and multiple children" then the answer is unfortunately no. However if you are able to handle duplicates of root data (For example using the Grouping functionality of an SSRS report) then what you require is entirely possible
Unless I've misunderstood the question this is very possible.
So for example you want to find all the contacts related to a given account. This is represented in Crm by the Parent Customer Lookup on the contact to the account.
<fetch mapping="logical" count="100" version="1.0">
<entity name="account">
<attribute name="name" />
<link-entity name="contact" from="parentcustomerid" to="accountid">
<attribute name="fullname" />
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
Which gives you a result set that looks like this:
<resultset morerecords="0" paging-cookie="<cookie page="1"><accountid last="{E704FAD6-2D4B-E111-9FED-00155D828444}" first="{AD912122-6B3C-E111-9B37-00155D828444}" /></cookie>">
<result>
<name>RGD Mining Inc</name>
<accountid>{E704FAD6-2D4B-E111-9FED-00155D828444}</accountid>
<accountid.fullname>Bill Miner</accountid.fullname>
</result>
<result>
<name>RGD Mining Inc</name>
<accountid>{E704FAD6-2D4B-E111-9FED-00155D828444}</accountid>
<accountid.fullname>Green</accountid.fullname>
</result>
</resultset>
No, it is not possible.
I'm happy to report that it is possible. I have a solution that worked well for me.
The only caveat is that if you have multiple child accounts you will get multiple results for the parent. For example:
parent 1: child 1
parent 2: child 1
parent 2: child 2
This means that you would then have to run the results through a sorting function, to get either all the children under parents in a multi dimensional array, or get all the accounts as unique entries in a flat array.
Also, this only goes down one level. If your hierarchy is multi-level, this code would need to be modified.
<fetch distinct="false" mapping="logical">
<entity name="account">
<attribute name="name" />
<link-entity name="account" alias="childaccount" to="accountid" from="parentaccountid" link-type="outer">
<attribute name="name" alias="childname" />
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
